I've been listening to "Lead the Field" by Earl Nightingale and it has lead me to try and clarify what it is I really want. I know that I'd love being an actor/voice actor; but why would I love that? The answer I came to was quite obvious, I even said it on the home page: I love having a positive impact on other people's lives. Being an actor/voice actor is a vehicle for me to do that which is great! I realized as well there are several things that I love to do that accomplish this same goal. One of these things is cosplaying at conventions. My first convention I ever attended was AWA(anime weekend Atlanta) which is where that foam armor cosplay came from. I had a blast there and soon after I got to go to Dragoncon for the first time (2013). That's where I cosplayed as Sherlock (BBC) along with my friends who also love to cosplay. I followed up Dragoncon with another AWA and Kami Con where I introduced a Rorschach cosplay (the mask is heat reactive and moves every time I breathe). I can't do this kind of stuff alone though, my friends Haley Salzburn (who made an amazing, rough Laura Croft) and George Nguyen (who tributed Attack on Titan) were very helpful in both supporting me and helping with the different cosplays. Heather Harrell also played a large role starting with Dragoncon and continuing to this year where she designed and is helping hand-make the above Miyazaki crossover of Princess Mononoke. My friends are also planning some new cosplays which are sure to be impressive I am ready for it to be September already :D
